Conan O’Brien in Sydney

US comedian Conan O’Brien visited Sydney this week for his sold out show, ‘Conan & his Australian Friends,’ at the State Theatre. He trained with lifeguards in Bondi, he met koalas and wombats, and he donned a red-and-white Sydney Swans jersey and played some AFL.

Rumour has it this visit came about after Australian actor Hugh Jackman sent him a video shaming him for not including Australia in his show!

Fancy a sleepover at IKEA?

IKEA, home of tasty meatballs and flat pack furniture is hosting a sleepover experience for the lucky winners of their Wake Up With IKEA comp across Australia.

Winners will be treated to a “tailored sleep zone” including the choice of their own linen and preferred pillow type. Plus, to make the whole thing a lot more relaxing than your standard sleepover situation, they’re also offering winners pre-sleep massages, a delicious dinner and cute movie night complete with snacks, followed by breakfast in bed the following morning.
